Q: I am getting an non painful tingling in my right breast front upper area for the past 48 hours on and off all day e.g. like non painful pins and needles for a few seconds every 10 mins.
Jay, words like tingling and pins and needles are words often associated with nerve pain. Could you have some pressure on a nerve? Although you say the sensation is not painful, it must be very annoying. Generally, we recommend that people see their doctor if their symptoms last a month, but if this is interfering with your ability to concentrate during the day, you might want to check with a doctor sooner.

Thank you for speedy response. Is it possible that I can have caused this sensation from exercise e.g. doing press ups as a part of a gym class? I will make an appointment to see the Doctor tomorrow.
